What Is A Teapill?
Teapills are herbal preparations made by combining powdered herbs with binders and forming them into small, pill-like shapes. Unlike concentrates, which are more potent extracts, teapills contain a lower concentration of herbal ingredients and are often used for long-term supplementation or as a convenient way to take herbal medicine. They are popular in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for their ease of use and portability. Plum Flower Teapills are made from high-quality, authentic herbs that are free of additives like sulfur, herbicides, and pesticides.
